SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 397,499, dated February12, 1889.

Application filed April 5, 1888. Serial No. 269,889. (No model.)

jack, adjustable wrench, and bit-stock, all of which will be fullydescribed hereinafter.

Our invention consists of a goose-neck or bow composed of any suit-ablematerial-preferably of malleable iron-one end of said goose-neck beingprovided with a fulcrunied axle-bearin g, the opposite end provided withan adjustable wrench, and the whole provided with means whereby theentire device may be used as a bit-stock. I

In the drawings, Figure 1 represents a side elevation of the device,showing the main features of our invention. l ig. 2 is an enlargedsectional view taken on line X X. Fig. 3 is an enlarged front view ofthe adjustable wrench and bit-stock. plan view of the portion above thejaws of the wrench where the operatingscrew is permanently held. Fig. 5is an enlarged plan view of the end of the fulerumcd axle-bearing.

Similar letters re for to similar parts th roughout the draw ngs, inwhich o represents the bow or goosenech having the axle liiez'iring bfulerunied to one end thereof. The forward end of the goose-neckprovided with a fixed jaw and bearing portion, 0, in which bears theoperating-screw (Z, permanently held by the collar (2. This screw (1passes through and engages with corresponding threads made in theadjustable jaw f, provided with ears g, adapted to operate over the beadh of the goose-neck. The central portion of the goose-neck is providedwith a cylindrical portion, 2', which of course serves as a handle inaddition to the handle 7;, when using the device as a wrench orbit-stock.

The end of the fulcrumed axle-bearing l) is concaved and a portion ofthe concavity is provided with corrugations or serrations n, adapted tocatch onto the threads of the axle Fig. i is an enlarged of a vehiclewhen sliding the wheel thereof onto the fulcrumed axle-bearing h.

It will be observed that the collar 0, before the screw (Z is inserted,will have the appear ance of a yoke, as indicated by dotted lines inFig. 4.. The operating-screw (Z is first inserted into the adjustablejaw f, and the lower end of the said screw is inserted in a depressionmade in. the fixed jaw c, and the jaw f is then pushed into the space Zuntil the ears g thereof shall have reached a point directly oppositethe beads 1 1, when it is then slid down upon said beads 71. In themeantime the shoulder 19 of the screw (Z will have assumed a posit-ionbeneath the collar 6, after which the ears on are bent around the shankof the said screw (Z and the shoulder p thereof, holding it permanentlyin position.

The axle-bearing 1) (represented in full lines, Fig. 1) is ready to beplaced against the end of an axle, at which time the wheel is slippedthereon; but when using the device as a wrench or bitstock the fnlcrumcdaxlebearing is thrown up, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 1, thusgiving the power-arm full play.

JIIOfZUS opcramlzl-The nut of the vehicleaxle is first removed by thewrench portion of the device, which will have such a firm grip on thenut as to prevent its dropping. The journal or wrench end (still.holding the nut) is passed between the wheel-spokes, the bearing portionof the fixed jaw resting upon the axle of the vehicle, and thecorrugated end of the fnlcrumed axle rests against the thread thereof.The goose-neck is then raised until the wheel shall have left itstangential hearing, when it is then removed over to the fulcruniedaxle-bearin g b, and there performs the function of a prop while thevehicle-axle is being greased.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters latent, is

The herein-described compound tool, comprising the bow or goose-neck a,the axlebearin b, fulcrumed to one end thereof and having serrations nat its forward end, the fixed jaw and bearing portion 0, arranged at theforward end of the said goose-neck a, the
